The UEFA Super Cup final to be held in Budapest on Thursday will be organised "under the strictest health protocols", the head of the emergency centre set up by the operative board coordinating Hungary's response to the novel coronavirus epidemic said. Addressing a regular press conference, Tibor Lakatos asked fans attending the match at Budapest's Puskas Arena to put face masks on before entering the stadium. Medical staff present at the arena will be prepared to examine anyone found to have a fever or displaying Covid-19 symptoms upon entry, he said. Concerning seating, Lakatos said only those belonging to the same group will be permitted to sit next to each other.
